At a glance
The Charlotte Inn is a Relais & Châteaux boutique inn in Edgartown village, on Martha’s Vineyard, with a fine-dining restaurant.
The Charlotte Inn is an old-world property in the centre of Edgartown, spread across five restored 19th-century buildings, including a former sea captain’s home. The mood is Edwardian and English country house: fine art, antiques, fresh flowers, fireplaces, and private gardens. Rooms and suites are individually decorated, no two the same.
The on-site restaurant, The Terrace, is a serious draw, serving French cooking with local island produce in a conservatory and on a garden terrace. Beyond dinner, the inn runs on quiet: sitting rooms, porches, and manicured gardens, with an art gallery on-site.
This is a romantic, grown-up place rather than a family one, made for couples, gay or straight, on a honeymoon or anniversary. It is a short walk from Edgartown’s harbor, shops, and restaurants, with Martha’s Vineyard Airport about 15 minutes away.

More Information
Dining
Unlike many island inns, the Charlotte Inn has a destination restaurant on-site. The Terrace serves fine French cooking, built on produce from the island’s farms and fishermen, in a glass conservatory dining room that opens onto a garden terrace. White linen, Limoges china, and an attentive, old-school style set the tone; jackets are preferred. It runs for dinner Wednesday through Sunday, and reservations are essential in season, for guests and outside diners alike.
Wellness
The Charlotte Inn is a period country-house inn, and the wellness on offer is the slower kind. Days tend to run on porch sitting, a book in the gardens, a drink by the fire in cooler months, and the calm of quiet sitting rooms full of antiques and art. The inn keeps an art gallery on-site, and the concierge can arrange massage and treatments elsewhere on the island.
Location
The inn is on quiet South Summer Street, in the heart of Edgartown, but set back from the bustle, in a neighbourhood of white-framed former whaling captains’ houses. The harbor, shops, galleries, and restaurants of the village are a short walk away, as is the Edgartown Lighthouse. You don’t need a car; the island works on foot, by bike, and by the local bus. Martha’s Vineyard Airport is about 15 minutes away, with year-round ferries from the mainland into Vineyard Haven.
